The Seton Sights & Sounds of Christmas 5K and 1k Kids Fun Run will be held Saturday December 1st, 2012 at 9:00 am. Due to the growing popularity and size of the race, we are debuting a new certified course that will showcase the beautiful downtown and historic district of San Marcos. The course is mostly flat with some gentle slopes and one small grade hill. The race will begin and finish at the San Marcos Plaza Park. Chip timing will be used. Every 5K entrant will receive a technical t-shirt (technical shirts guaranteed to all pre-registrants) while the 1k participants will be given a cotton t-shirt and a ribbon for participating in the race. The awards ceremony will follow the completion of the 1k race with the overall 5K male and female winners receiving a $100 gift card to Core Running towards a pair of shoes and a unique Santa trophy to top finishers in each five-year age group.
